Ashwin couldnt sleep the entire night . It all felt so abrupt . He had seen those eyes before . He struggled remembering those lightning eyes coming into his imaginary visuals every now and then .
Next day wasnt usual . As he promised his mom to work from home he couldnt go to office .
He called Rakshan to enquire about office and also her .
" ila da , she gave leave for 2 days , na ok soliten " Rakshan said .
" Ena solra ? reason ena ? " he asked .
" Personal sona aduku mela ena pana solra nee ? sincere ponnu so reason might be genuine nu vituten " Rakshan said .
Ashwin accepted and cut the call .
He thought of calling her but giving her space felt important for him .
He smiled thinking about yesterday . Flow of comfort was natural between them .
Neither of them anticipated a kiss but it all felt so right at that moment .

Sivaangi was sitting in the running shower . Her eyes were red . She couldnt believe that he asked it .
Controlling the overflowing tears , she closed her eyes for a moment , his face flashed . The flashing lights of the nature and his face for her , everything was registered in her mind clearly .
A smile crept thinking about the touch of the lips . She immediately jerked not to dwell into it anymore .

2 days sucked for both of them . Neither spoke nor met .
Ashwin saw her again on the third day . He could see her all professional and leaving with curt replies .
He wanted to apologise if she thinks that he used that night as an advantage . One thing kept him to believe that he had seen those eyes before .
Rakshan entered the cabin to discuss about Rathord's project . After a detailed discussion ,
" ok da , I will take care " he said getting up from the seat .
" Raksha "
He stopped and turned ,
" Sivaangi background check pana sonene paniya ? " he asked
" Idu dan epovo panen la , ipo en da kekra ? " showing confusion on his face .
" Yah u r right , felt something , adan , vidu " Ashwin spoke incomprehensible words making Rakshan nod with a slight dilemma .
Ashwin closed his eyes in frustation but her eyes started haunting him .
He went directly to her cabin and opened .
She was arguing with a female .
She got quite excited on seeing Ashwin , jumping from her place .
" See I told u right ? I know him already . Look at him . He came directly over here to see me " she flaunted her hair infront of Sivaangi making her look away .
He looked at Sivaangi but she didnt even cast a contact .
" Ashwin " Anitha called .
He turned and smiled , " Hi "
" I wanted to meet you , aunty sonaanga unaku edo adi patruchame , direct flight US la irundhu inga dan landing " Anitha told .
Ashwin smiled and nodded but again looked at Sivaangi .
